Lysi makes high quality fish oils and fish liver oils

Lysi is the biggest producer of fish oils and fish liver oils in the world. The story of Lysi dates back to 1938, as the Icelandic brothers Tryggvi and Thodor Olafson founded a fish oil factory in Reykjavik. Ever since the first years, the products of Lysi have been firmly founded on high quality, research and environmentally friendly production methods. During the decades, Lysi has built up extensive knowledge in the production of high quality fish oils.

The word Lysi is Icelandic and means ‘light’.
